Aditya-L1's destination is a halo orbit around Lagrange Point 1 (L1), a special point in space where the gravitational forces exerted by the Sun and the Earth on Aditya-L1 will be balanced.

Aditya-L1, India’s first space-based solar observatory to study the Sun, has reached its home after a challenging voyage of 127 days. It is a strategic location in space for several reasons.

Aditya-L1: After travelling for about 127 days since launch, cruising challenging terrains and trajectories, Aditya-L1, India's first space-based solar observatory to study the Sun, has reached home.

Aditya-L1: Describing the halo orbit, S Somanath said it is shaped like an egg, and had ISRO not conducted certain corrections, Aditya-L1 would have escaped from its position.

L1, located 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth, is a special vantage and strategic location in space because it will provide the Aditya-L1 spacecraft an uninterrupted view of the Sun for five years
